Hello,

I am generating some data that is the difference between a variable with 
standard name sea_water_temperature and a climatology and I am not sure what to 
use for the standard_name. There is an existing standard name 
sea_water_temperature_difference but I am not sure if this is supposed to be 
used to represent anomalies as the description of it is very brief. There are a 
few other variables that have standard names defined for anomalies e.g. 
air_temperature_anomaly, but there is currently no 
sea_water_temperature_anomaly. I also checked the standard name modifiers as I 
thought that anomaly might be included in those, but it is not currently. 
Please could you advise on what I should use and if necessary request that it 
be added to the list of standard names?

Many thanks,

Simon Good
